The rules? One push-up → launch yourself as far up the wall as you can...

Some went for two hands

Some… defied gravity (almost).

Who do you think hit the highest mark?

Our clients have spoken

We recently ran a feedback survey for everyone in our Personal Training programmes — and honestly, the responses made our week.

From feeling stronger than ever, to moving without pain for the first time in years, to finally enjoying training again… it’s why we do what we do.

A huge thank you to every client who took the time to share their thoughts. Your feedback helps us keep improving — and reminds us that real results come from consistency, community, and a bit of humour along the way.

Ergonomics myths, explained

It’s common to tweak your chair, monitor, or desk and feel better — but that relief usually comes from changing position and moving more, not from unlocking a “perfect” posture.

Ergonomics can help you stay comfortable, but it’s just one part of the picture. What really makes the difference is:

Moving or changing position every 30–60 minutes
Building strength in your back, hips, and shoulders
Developing confidence to move freely, not fear of “bad posture”

Everyone’s different, so the best setup is one that feels good and lets you move often.

If discomfort keeps coming back, our Physiotherapy team in Leith can help you understand what’s driving it — and build the strength and confidence to keep it away.

Motivation gets you started.
Habits keep you going.

You don’t need to feel inspired every day — you just need a system that makes doing the right thing the easy thing.

Start small, stay consistent, and let discipline do the heavy lifting.

George joins us as a Sports Therapist while finishing his degree in Sport Rehabilitation at Queen Margaret University.

He’s passionate about helping people move better, recover faster, and enjoy the process of getting stronger.

When he’s not in the clinic or gym, you’ll find him doing Pilates, working on DIY projects, or buried in a good book.

To celebrate his arrival, we’re offering 15% off your next sports massage when you book with code GEORGE.

Most people only focus on one part of health.

The truth is, you need all three:

🏋️ Movement = Strength, mobility, cardio, and power.
In the gym, focus on compound lifts, supersets, and full range of motion. Consistency is what ties it all together.

🥗 Nutrition = Fuel, not restriction.
Build balanced meals around protein and plants.

😴 Recovery = Where progress happens.
Prioritise sleep, stress management, and rest days.

These three pillars work together — that’s how you build health that lasts.

Next week, we’re launching something free to help you do all three.

“Health isn’t built overnight — it’s built on habits.
These are the things we see in people who stay fit, strong, and healthy long-term.

You don’t need to tick every box — start with one and build momentum.

If you’re not sure where to begin, book a free Movement MOT with one of our Personal Trainers.
We’ll help you identify the habits that matter most for your health and goals.”

Who We Are

We are Scotland’s first Personal Training/Physiotherapy Social Enterprise, and we strongly believe that our social enterprise model could offer a new paradigm for physiotherapy and personal training in the UK.

The profit we make goes towards our social purpose, which is helping people who have been discharged from the NHS but still have rehab potential.

We are a team of university graduates passionate about highlighting the importance of science and changing lifestyles to help maximise people’s wellbeing and minimise the risk of preventable illness. You can meet the team here.

We believe in science. Believing is easy. Being sceptical is hard. As healthy sceptics, we do the research before helping our clients to apply the evidence using the principles of sustainable behaviour change.
